SCIENCE IS EVIL! FEAR CHANGE! TECHNOLOGY WILL DOOM US ALL! Man, I'm really getting tired of all this sci-fi doom-saying. Doesn't anyone remember Star Trek and the idea of a hopeful future based on technological advancement? If everyone thinks we should go back to eating raw meat and living in mud houses, they can do that. I'll take the future of robots, nanomachines, genetics-based cures for all diseases, and intergalactic travel, thank you very much.

So it's like the Matrix meets I Am Legend meets Ultraviolet?

No-one ever went to see a movie where everyone was happy and nothing went wrong and I doubt they ever will. The more interesting thing is that it's Warner Bros and Bryan Singer, taking the web seriously as a media channel, and putting what looks like a chunk of money into this. If this series is a big enough success it could be a watershed moment for web-based entertainment. The quality bar just got raised pretty high - no more cat videos!

@RincewindsHat66 Well said. I struggle to find "optimistic" sci-fi myself. There's an anthology of short stories called "Shine," compiled by Jetse de Vries that Solaris put out a year or two ago. It is supposed to challenge the usual dystopian views of the future with ideas that we will get it right and have a firm handle on our science. I've read a few of them and their well-written, though they still imply a sort of "dark age" to get through. It's worth checking out anyway.

@stoverassociates My big problem is that really aren't any "pro-science" movies coming out. Yes, science fiction has always been a way to comment on the potential implications of new technologies and discoveries, but every movie I see these days seems to be built around the "science has gone too far!" angle. I'd like to see the other side of the coin. Also, thalidomide was a failed experiment, like radium supplements. It didn't actually work, so I wouldn't classify it as an "advancement".

[stoverassociates]

@stoverassociates I feel your pain, though, and agree that technology should not be fear but used confidently.

[stoverassociates]

@RincewindsHat66 I'm merely saying that for people to be conscientious and discerning in their decisions on how to use technology isn't fear-based or backward. The question that many artists are posing now is not whether or not technology is "good," but rather how the very idea of what it means to be human will be questioned and also what hidden costs might lie in the changes we are very eager to make. Oh, thalidomide is the best example I have. I agree with you that New-Luddism isn't good.

@stoverassociates Name one single instance where a technological innovation has hurt more than helped, I'm interested to know what it could be. Science and technology have had to slowly inch forward over the last 3 hundred years, because people who fear change clutch at its ankles and scream "No!". And as for my thinking being black and white, in the words of Bill Watterson, "sometimes that's the way things are."

[stoverassociates]

@RincewindsHat66 Black and white thinking never helped anyone. Being intentional with our technological decisions rather than doing anything just because we can is not advocating a return to barbarism. Some research may show you just how much impulsive drives in tech applications have hurt as much as healed. This is an important issue and we need to have more dialog on it.

It's better to live in nature and make training that to stay at the pc all the day , every day... the tecnologi will destroy us and our humanity
